I had the same problem - I guess I am still muddled up because I haven't managed to log in yet (if you know the secret do tell me!). I wondered if perhaps we have to register again but when I went to the form it didn't have the padlock thingie so I wasn't sure if it was secure. But it sounds from what you said that we can log in with our forum details - I just can't get it to work.
I want a bear too!
